Flatscreen between speakers

Congratulations! Hard work and thought is rewarded in this pursuit. Happy to hear about your results.

Your situation is different. You have a near field setup. I have a very similar setup in my office. It sounds great. My speakers are about five feet apart on opposite sides of my monitor and the cones are just barely in front to the monitor. In this case it images deep behind the monitor. Sounds great. No, if I were trying to optimize for sitting back six feet... that would be a different story. 

OP,

Good to have picked cotton. I use a very densely woven wool carpet (See my virtual system). It weighs at least twenty or thirty pounds. It is highly absorbent and dense. Over the years I have experimented a lot. A couple inches thickness of cotton towels and blankets or couch cushion can simulate something better... to give you the feel. But then either a made for the purpose material is needed or something like what I am using. 

OP,

What material did you choose for the "dust cover". The photo looks like vinyl, but it seems to come in many materials. I don't think vinyl will be much better than the naked tv. It needs to be absorbent for most speakers. Some ribbon speakers are much more tolerant of reflections.
